Thats an unrealistic depiction of puma concolor anyway. Media trying to suggest that waist is in any way representative of the population.

Yeah, that'll get the neoliberals fired up. Jesus Christ.

 

“I think it’s going to require a little bit less navel-gazing and a little less whining and being in fetal positions. And it’s going to require Democrats to just toughen up,” Obama said at the fundraiser

We are all monsters on this blessed day.

As a primary factor, running a clinic with a population of 806 with the current payout structure of Medicare, Medicaid, and insurance companies is frankly unsustainable. It's not wrong to say the Medicaid cuts are not the primary factor, just the last straw in an already broken model. Giving service to a community that small and spread out takes state subsidies or the regional health care system eating the losses. It sounds likely this crew would be hostile to the former and are mad that the nonprofit can't continue to afford the latter as the Medicaid cuts squeeze them more.

Much of these services are offered primarily to avoid 30 day readmission penalties that CMS hits hospitals with after discharging people to areas with no follow up care. It essentially externalizes the cost of providing this care into regional health systems. But eventually they'll find other avenues, like very targeted home visits and increasing nursing home admissions, as the costs get unsustainable. And then the costs of this lack of access are externalized right back onto the community.

It's not even don't get in. They're rigorous institutions that have a marginal difference in competitiveness. They just make you take a class on those dumb manipulations. In the end it doesn't matter if you went through DO school or med school: if you're shit you're not getting matched into or getting through residency. And the key part is both sides of that pipeline compete for the same limited residency placements that are significantly fewer than the number of graduates and are judged the same.

I do a similar trick as a shirtless fat guy wearing flip flops cycling in the middle of the road in my city. In my case it's less that they're not so aggressive but more that they end up being convinced that I'm a crazy person they should give space to. Which I am.

Pedals while weighing how much? They don't say on their website either. You're not pedaling this motorcycle up a hill or anywhere significant really. A moped pedals at least kickstart the 2 stroke engine but this shit is just to try to make some legal argument that would cause a court to throw out thanks to their marketing materials alone. It's a motorcycle.

Luckily it wasn't just a very spicy pillow.

I also don't think that geothermal power installations stand to solidify the earths core and remove our magnetosphere. I just think it's cool that it's literally where the power is coming from.

Yeah and any friction from tides(instead of free movement) slows the rotation and pushes the moon away. It's using the leverage of the gravity to perform work against the planet itself. Devices like underwater turbines, by extracting energy from the tidal currents, effectively increase this friction, which in turn amplifies the effect. The amount of energy naturally pulled out of this system is entirely dependent on the size of the tidal bulge and the shape of the seafloor/coast.

As for geothermal, we do use it, but only in hot spots.

 
 
 

I was aware that news and letters were brought into the city by carrier pigeons with microfilm, but I wasn't aware that news and post from the city(along with the carrier pigeons themselves that would later return) were brought out by constructing one way balloons out of the diminishing resources for a harrowing flight over occupied France with a shrinking pool of pilots.

 

Israel's government approved a plan on Sunday to expand Israeli settlements in the Golan Heights, saying it had acted "in light of the war and the new front facing Syria" and out of a desire to double the Israeli population on the Golan.

 

A center-left group in the U.S. sees a valuable lesson in the landslide victory of Britain’s Labour Party after nearly 15 years in the political wilderness.

The centrist Democrat think tank Third Way argues in a memo obtained Friday by POLITICO that Labour’s sweeping win shows that “centrism wins elections” and can undercut right-wing populism by appealing to the broadest segment of the population with a credible platform.

 

Warping is throwing an anchor either manually for a small ship or by rowing the anchor out and dropping it farther away for a larger ship. Then the ship would reel it to change position. Good for maneuvering in harbor. Etymologically related to "throwing" and essentially threading a needle across the sea.

Warp factor get you asses in the rowboat. Engage.

 

For the first time since Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party swept to power in 2014, the party did not secure a majority on its own in 2024 national election. But the prime minister’s coalition is still expected to run the country for another five years.

Modi’s allies generally support pro-Hindu legislation, but making new policies could be complicated by coalition politics and a slimmer majority.

Despite a setback, many of the Hindu nationalist policies he’s instituted over the last 10 years remain locked in place

 

Interesting to note here: getting preteens to confusedly call Congress with threats of self harm and questions like "what is Congress" with a push notification is not the best plan

 

President Biden told a Democratic lawmaker and members of his Cabinet after the State of the Union address that he told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that they will need to have a “come-to-Jesus meeting.”

Biden’s comments, captured on a hot mic as he spoke with Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) on the floor of the House chamber, came after Bennet congratulated the commander in chief on his speech and pressed him to keep pressure on Netanyahu over increasing humanitarian issues in Gaza.
